Questions from Grafty Green
Can you do a hog roast in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Grafty Green close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
How does payment work for businesses?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
